Hidden Darkness

Secrets concealed from the world,
hidden away from prying eyes.
People still pass through,
trying to uncover the unseen,
to reveal what can never be.

But eyes will never see it,
nor mouths speak it,
nor ears hear it.
It has become one with darkness.

It lives in each shadowy corner,
under every bed and dresser,
embedded in the room itself.

If these walls could talk,
they would say nothing.

Silence.
